INGLEWOOD TALKIES.

DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAMME.

"Charlie Chan in Honolulu" will be screened together with The Jones Family h "Down on the Farm" in an excellent double feature programme at the Inglewood Talkies to-morrow night. The film presents a challenge to Chan in his own home town— an audacious killer daring to strike almost on the sleuth's very doorstep. While Chan is visiting a daughter at the hospital, where she is shortly to present the sleuth with his first grandson, a call comes to Charlie's home — a man has been murdered on a boat in the harbour. Chan's No. 2 son, deciding not to bother "Pop," rushes to the scene himself. Chan, after finally learning of the call, follows. The elements of the mystery are these: A murdered man; a young girl who has been carrying 300.000 dollars (now missing) across the Pacific; a bewildered and bewildering scientist and a motley collection of crew members, ranging from the captain on down. Later on another victim is murdered, an attempt is made to assassinate Chan himself. and a number of other complications enter the mystery. Chan, carrying on in his usual manner. effectively solves the crimes and brings the case to a close with a thrilling ruse — just in time to hear that he is the grandfather of a boy! Phyllis Brooks, Sen Yung, Eddie Collins, John King, Claire Dodd, George Zucco, Robert Barrat and Marc Lawrence are featured in the cast surrounding Toler,
